Night time in mudville


My town was built by the Cheney family. They had silk mills that were, at the time, the World's largest. The company was quite benelovent to the employees, building housing, schools and civic structures. This is a former schoolhouse in the mill district. It now houses the Historical Society. My grandfather came from East Prussia in 1914 and got a job in the mills.
